[Choice of the lens implant model]

Report on 530 lens implantation procedures performed in the years from 1981 to 1985. Different complications with different lens models are mentioned, in particular cystoid macular edema, subluxation or luxation of the artificial lens, vitreous complication, secondary cataract, and retinal detachment. A comparison was made with a group of aphakic eyes in which no lens implant was used. In a preliminary overall assessment in the group of eyes with lens implants there were no complications more severe than those in the group of aphakic eyes without artificial lenses.
